Purple Drank

Purple Drank, named after the infamous cough syrup cocktail, is an incredibly popular name for hybrids. At least four separate strains have this name, so you'll need to confirm the breeder to know what to expect.

Origin 1: Purple Drank by Kushman Veganics

The most famous version of Purple Drank also goes by the name Mr. Tusk. As reported by the New York Times, this is a mostly indica hybrid cultivated by the legendary Kushman behind Kushman Veganics, specifically for the release of the 2014 Kevin Smith movie, Tusk. Supposedly, this is a phenotype of Ken's OG Kush and is said to be quite mellow.

Origin 2: Purple Drank by Riot Seeds

This Purple Drank comes from Riot Seeds as an indica-leaner and is a cross of Ellie's cut of Girl Scout Cookies and WCD710. This particular version has wildly purple flowers and a sweet grape flavor profile. Beneath the fruit flavors, you'll also experience a notable dankness. This is a high resin producer, making it an excellent strain for extraction.

Origin 3: Purple Drank by 3rd Shift Genetics

Another version of Purple Drank is a creation from 3rd Shift Genetics, as an auto-flowering cross of Purple Lemonade and Cake Pops. Going deeper into the family tree, you'll find Bessie Cake, Runtz, and Gelato. Little else is known about this strain.

Origin 4: Purple Drank by Happy Bird Seeds

Produced by Happy Bird Seeds, this Purple Drank hybrid is also an autoflower version that crosses Black Strap R1 with a Mimosa and Orange Punch hybrid. With this balanced hybrid, you can expect big purple flowers and zesty hits of citrusy terps. It has been reported to produce a strong and euphoric high, but there is little information about the flavors or effects.
